Minutes to beach, cafe's and pubs. Situated in historical tree lined street. On street parking or park across front of carport for short periods. Shared bathroom, modern kitchen & peaceful courtyard. Large breezy bedroom.

Quiet street but still very close to everything.

This house is a really nice place to stay! The host is an easy-going and sociable person. Considering the location, neighborhood and the price, I think this is the best place to stay with Airbnb in Newcastle!

Łukasz2016-10-15T00:00:00Z

Thanks for guiding me to your place over the phone since you were not around during my stay. Overall was fine. Just a note on the floors and carpet which I think should give it a thorough clean up. Thanks.

SAINT EARN2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Toby was a very accommodating and kind host! Fantastic location in Cooks Hill - just a couple of blocks away from the best parts of Darby St. Room is a good-size and quite comfortable. Washing machine was useful. Also a great little terrace out front. Loved going to Core Espresso for my morning coffee - located just down the road on Bull and Darby St. Plenty of cafes and shops on Darby, which eventually leads to the CBD. Or head the other way and Bar Beach isn't terribly far away either!

Carl2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

I have stayed at Tobys a few times, He's always welcoming and friendly

Guy2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

i am happy so far .. except heater .. thank you so much and will stay again . thanks

Yogi2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

Toby always makes me feel welcome, he has this vibe, as a highly motivated, yet laid-back persona, and still feels like he could be a cousin. The area is youthful and hipster with a Bondi Vibe, close to cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Guy2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

Toby was an awesome host, very welcoming and friendly. He seemed genuinely interested in my plans and even let me share some oysters for dinner! We had a great time watching some TV and movies together and learning about each other's lives in Melbourne/Newcastle. Room was very clean and cosy.

Andy2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Toby was very friendly. He hosted in his home and was very flexible about my needs.

Two big spacious bedrooms are available, this listing is the front bedroom off the lounge room, ceiling fan, linen & towels supplied guests have a separate lounge & dining room for their use. Guests can use tea coffee I have a small bar fridge 4 your use switch on if not on. Bathroom is shared. If u use kitchen YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK because the home is shared with another guest(s) (communal) I cannot guarantee absolute cleanliness because of this so I suggest that u wash everything u use before u use it to ensure proper hygienic standard for yourself.

I found Kerry to be a thoughtful, considerate and knowledgeable host. On arrival she took me on a short tour of Newcastle to point the main sights which was a great way to get orientated. She had great suggestions for places to visit and was interested to know where I had eaten so she could pass on to future guests. The night I stayed Kerry postponed a trip away so she could collect another couple who were coming in late on public transport. Kerry's home was comfortable with easy access and a fantastic location. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to my next stay.

We just stayed for one night but what we had seen was very nice. Clean rooms nice interior and the bed is very Comfortable.

Live2017-01-04T00:00:00Z

Kez's house is in a great location, easy to find and close to everything by you need. Comfortable bed and a very homely feel. Was lovely to meet Kez and enjoy the view from her balcony.

Grant2017-03-21T00:00:00Z

Kerry was a superb host from the moment I arrived. Very relaxed and easy to talk with, I felt extremely comfortable. She had all the information about the local area and things to do and if I was in Newcastle for a holiday rather than a conference I would've known exactly where to go. Her home is ideally located in the heart of Newcastle, a short walk to a cafe strip with a wide range of restaurants and great coffee. It's an older style home which adds a certain amount of charm to the experience. The view of the park from her balcony is superb. I would definitely stay there again, whether in Newcastle for business or pleasure.

Bill2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Lovely house. Kerry was very welcoming. Nice and close to town. Good wifi.

Mark2017-02-25T00:00:00Z

Kerry was friendly and showed us everything. It was a good accommodation for one night. My friend and I would not stay again, because we stayed in cheaper AirBnBs that were lots better.

Hi all,
I'm Boris and I have a place to rent. I live with Steven, but while I work in Sydney, I rent my room out.
Steven is in early 30's, engineer, working at the University of Newcastle. He is friendly, easygoing and helpful.
Going back to the Unit, this is a lovely one: clean, tidy and friendly, with a super spacious room, great view, and close to everything in the heart of Newcastle. If you drive a car, you can use the visitors parking in the complex at no extra cost.
The unit is located in The Hill suburb. The Hill is one of the oldest and nicest suburbs in the Newcastle area. It is very central, close to bus and train stations, close to Darby street, to Honeysuckle area, and to the beach.
On Darby street, you will find many restaurants and cafes to enjoy your stay in Newcastle. Not far from this unit, you can also access to the Honeysuckle and Foreshore area. From there, the lighthouse is just a few minutes walk.
THINGS TO DO
Festivals
Newcastle holds a variety of cultural events and festivals.
The Newcastle Regional Show is held in the Newcastle Showground annually. There are a mixture of typical regional show elements such as woodchopping displays, showbags, rides and stalls and usually fireworks to complement the events in the main arena.
The Mattara festival, founded in 1961, is the official festival of Newcastle with a more traditional 'country fair' type program that combines a parade, rides, sporting events, band competitions and portrait and landscape painting exhibitions.
The Newcastle Jazz Festival is held across three days in August, and attracts performers and audiences from all over Australia.
The Shoot Out 24 Hour Filmmaking Festival, first started in Newcastle in 1999. This is the film festival where film-makers come together in one place to make a short film in 24 hours. It is run annually in July.
This Is Not Art is a national festival of new media and arts held in Newcastle each year over the October long weekend. Since its humble beginnings in 1998, it has become one of the leading arts festivals in Australia dedicated to the work and ideas of communities not included in other major Australian arts festivals. The umbrella program includes the independent festivals Electrofringe, the National Young Writers' Festival, Critical Animals, Sound Summit, Crack Theatre Festival and other projects that vary from year to year.
The Newcastle Entertainment Centre, located inside the Newcastle Showground is a popular venue for regular events including wrestling, concerts and monster truck shows.
Music
Newcastle has an active youth music culture, as well as a Conservatorium of Music which is part of the University of Newcastle. It continues to support local bands and has a large underground music scene. The members of Silverchair, the highly successful Australian band, hail from Newcastle, as does the Australian band The Screaming Jets. It has a fertile punk rock and hardcore scene, which has spawned successful local acts and national acts.
Visual arts and galleries
Noted Australian artists John Olsen, Margaret Olley and William Dobell once lived in Newcastle and today the city of Newcastle is home to a wide range of public, commercial and private galleries. The Newcastle Art Gallery is home to one of Australia's most substantial public art collections outside a major capital city, and its extensive collection of works by contemporary and historical Australian visual artists presents a comprehensive overview of Australian art. Due to an ongoing space issue, the gallery is currently planning a major redevelopment. The Von Bertouch Galleries is a commercial gallery founded by Anne Von Bertouch.
Theatre
Newcastle has a variety of smaller theatres, but the main theatre in the CBD is now the Civic, at Wheeler Place, (seating capacity about 1500), one of Australia's great historic theatres built during 1929 in Art Deco style. It hosts a wide range of musicals, plays, concerts, dance and other events each year. Newcastle previously boasted several large theatres, among them the oldest purpose-built theatre in Australia, the Victoria Theatre on Perkins Street (built 1876, capacity 1750), saw touring international opera companies such as the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, and other troupes, and played host to some of the greatest stars of the age, such as Dame Nellie Melba, Gladys Moncrieff, and Richard Tauber, (it is now closed and derelict); the Century, Nineways, Broadmeadow, (built 1941, capacity 1800) although largely used as a cinema was a popular Symphony orchestra venue (demolished 1990 after being severely damaged by the 1989 earthquake); the Hunter (capacity 1000) at The Junction, had advanced modern stage facilities, but was eventually sold and demolished to make way for a motel that was destroyed by the 1989 earthquake. The decline in theatres and cinemas from the 1960s onwards was blamed on television.

It was really great staying here. The Host and people staying with me were very good, had great hospitality and were trying to help me in whatever they could. The Room looks exactly as shown in the picture, clean and tidy and we are allowed complete privacy. I would definitely stay here, if I had another chance.

Barath2014-12-17T00:00:00Z

Very smooth arrival. 5 minutes from the convention site I came for. Housemates were so easy, like we knew each other for a long time. Room with a view could not have been better.

Jeanne2015-04-01T00:00:00Z

I only stayed at Boris place one night. Boris himself was travelling, so his friend Diego took care of me. He was very kind and gave me some nice touristic information on Newcastle. Really enjoyed the open atmosphere in the apartment. Room had a great city view!

Nancy2014-01-23T00:00:00Z

Great location, neighbourhood, view and host. The bed and the room was even better than the photos.

Danielle2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

Boris was amazing and his place was so nice! So much sun! Thanks!

Oliver2014-10-05T00:00:00Z

Boris wasn't at the accommodation, however his friend was able to let me in and and was punctual and helpful. The view across Newcastle was great and the balcony off the bedroom was terrific. There was a desk for working, and the layout of the room was good. Key is to be aware that this is a shared apartment, and the other flatmate isn't your host, although pretty sociable. Boris was easy to communicate with, and did everything to ensure a good stay.

Kristen 2016-02-24T00:00:00Z

Boris was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I was in town for the National Young Writers Festival and he didn't mind at all that I was out of the house by 9am and not back until midnight or later. The room was great – fantastic view, big comfortable bed, great location. Exactly what I needed.

Ashley2015-10-05T00:00:00Z

I was disappointed with this stay. While the Airbnb description does not contain falsehoods as such, it provides a very incomplete picture. The unit has the feel of shared student digs. It’s clean enough, but quite shabby. The ‘host’, Boris, does not live at the unit. There are two young guys there – not mentioned in the description – who seemed quite awkward with having an older woman in the unit. In the few times I was there in the evenings, they were generally involved in ‘gaming’ activities in front of the TV (so noisily on the first night that I needed to mention it the next morning), so it felt intrusive to use the lounge room. A more truthful description would have enabled me to choose something that was a better fit for my needs.

We loved our stay at James's. Great location - easy 10 minute walk to shops, beach, supermarket and cinemas. Check-in was simple, James was very friendly and helpful, but the room is also very private. It looks exactly like the photos - very clean, airy, spacious - like a nice hotel, but with more personal touches. Also, the room stayed very cool, even though it just had a fan and we visited when it hit 40 degrees! One of our best experiences with Airbnb, thanks James!

Hannah2016-12-31T00:00:00Z

Hi everyone, James was a great host, we had such a great time in Newcastle. His place is amazing and the room was very well presented and clean. Best part is walking distance to just about everything, would stay again :-)

Casey2016-10-08T00:00:00Z

James' place was lovely and extremely well located. Nicely renovated with plenty of privacy (separate entrance and basically whole floor to myself). James was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again - thanks James!

Matt2016-09-07T00:00:00Z

James is an excellent host, we had such a nice time staying there. And the room is so lovely and very close to everything. Newcastle is a great getaway from the busyness of Sydney.

Heli2016-04-17T00:00:00Z

We had a busy weekend so didn't get to relax in the room as much as we'd have liked. It's a lovely room with a great feel. James was away so we unfortunately didn't get to chat, always next time!

Steven&Sherryl&Theo2016-05-24T00:00:00Z

We had a great weekend in Newcastle and loved the location - lots of cafes and restaurants at our door step. James was welcoming and the room was very comfortable and clean. Will be back!

Patrick2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Paige2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

This is such a fantastic little apartment in the perfect position to explore Newcastle. The little balcony was lovely to sit on in the afternoon and it was nice to have the extra space of a little lounge area. The bathroom was clean with a beautiful shower. Bonus points for 'Who Gives a Crap' toilet paper and 'Norco' milk. Clearly James cares about the environment as well as his guests! I would highly recommend this apartment and if we return to Newcastle we will definitely be back!

Anthony2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

Me and my girlfriend stayed over for the weekend and we found the room just perfect for a quiet weekend close to the nature(you can see and hear the ocean straight from your window), everything is reachable in 15-20 min maximum walk, and Petra was really happy to help us with all the info we needed. The price is reasonable considering the amazing location and the tiny room as everything you need for a couple of days stay. Well done!

Matteo2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

Great little beachside room with all the necessities. Host was lovely and accommodating.

Shaun2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Had a great break away at Petra's place. The view is amazing, as is the sound of the ocean. Also very handy to shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, town beaches and ocean baths. It was a nice touch to have some breakfast supplies in the room. It was perfect for one, but I can imagine it would work well for a couple. I asked for visitor parking which Petra organised for me when I arrived, which was a great help since I had my car. I would love to go back!

Rachel2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

Great view and location

Thomas2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

Great little find, do not arrive in the dark! I had to wake Petra up in the middle of the night as the street is quite dark and the entrance is down a tiny gap and down a lot of stairs so I went to the wrong door trying to find a key! Petra was lovely about it though and woke up at midnight to show me to the room! I had bad weather when I stayed so it was a bit precarious getting in and out of the door when it was so stormy and also the rain came in and flooded near the door but all electrics were up on a shelf so it was okay, Petra gave me a lift all the way to the train station as it was such bad weather! Lovely host and lovely flat with all you need for a short stay, nowhere to unpack into though so wouldn't stay really long, also intermittent wifi so don't plan to do work, Petra provided bread, butter, jam, tea and coffee which I thought was lovely!

Bianca2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful studio! Even better than it looks in the photos. Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great stay.

Emily2017-02-23T00:00:00Z

Petra's place is perfectly located between Nobby's and Newcastle beaches with a great outlook. The studio is cosy and clean, and Petra was warm, friendly and accommodating on arrival. She made us feel welcome and that always bodes well for a lovely stay. Great privacy, too. Thanks!

Excellent apartment near the beach. Perfect for a getaway. Close to great eateries. Excellent access and parking.

Kyle's apartment was the perfect base for us to explore Newcastle from. We particularly loved hanging out on the large balcony overlooking Pacific Park. The double shower was also a plus, and the beds were super comfortable. Newcastle Beach is a 3 minute walk away, and we went for multiple swims - what a great way to start a steamy hot summers day!! There are also a lot of great cafe's and restaurants in the area. We loved our stay, and would recommend this apartment to anyone. We wish we were back there now!!

A wonderful apartment in a great location, with everything that you need. The apartment is better than the photos-trendy and quite spacious with enough room for two couples or a small family like ours. A great location-easy walking distance to the beach, sea baths, shops, cafes and restaurants and has a nice view over the park. Communication with Kyle was easy and prompt, and we had no issues finding or accessing the apartment with his instructions. The keyless entry is a bonus, so no one has to worry about the keys or getting locked out. Nice touches with soft fluffy towels and comfy beds. The only down side is that the apartment is quite noisy. Happy, socialising street sounds do drift up, as the apartment sits above a restaurant and is inner city, so noise like this is to be expected. However, there is an air compressor type thing outside the main bedroom window, which flicks on and off all night, and may keep light or sensitive sleepers up. Though this was only an issue in the main bedroom. Otherwise a really enjoyable stay and we would stay again. Thanks Kyle.

We had a great time at Kyle's listing. Great location, well kept, and a balcony perfect for people watching. Brief stroll into the centre of town. Host is great communicator, responding to our questions super quickly.

We had a fantastic time staying at Kyle's. Unit is in a very convenient location, clean and better than described. Our stay started with a relaxed dinner at Kyle's restaurant which was one of the best meals we've had for quite some time, excellent service, great selection and incredible quality. A 3 minute walk to the beach helped relax and remove the stress and lots of shopping to look at too. Overall we had a great time and will come back next time we're in Newcastle.

This place is fantastic. Effortless access, nice balcony, stones throw from the beach, comfy beds, modern bathroom and kitchen and close to cafes, restaurants, bars.

Come and stay with us in our Bar Beach escape. It is amazing lifestyle living in one of Newcastle's most sought after locations. You will feel instantly relaxed in our cosy home. The house is full of natural light, the sea breeze and a sunset from your bedroom window.

Parking is available on the right as you come down the driveway. Please ask us if you are unsure of where to park.
Only a 6 minute walk to Bar Beach which has a great little kiosk that sells coffee and simple breaky / lunch and perfect for a swim.
2 minute walk to the start of the Anzac Memorial walk (look out for the stairs). The walk along the 'bridge' is roughly 500m but If you are feeling adventurous it can take you all the way to Merewether beach (roughly 2km) or if you follow the other direction you will head into Newcastle's CBD and foreshore.
We are close to Darby St which we recommend for great food (Goldbergs, Three monkeys and Benjamas Thai) as well as shopping.

Fantastic place! Amazing design of the room and super comfortable bed. Hannah and Paddy are so nice persons who can really make you home :)Only Few minutes walk to the beach, we watched the sunset in there. Best place to stay if you travel to port stephen.

loved staying at Hannah's place, it was clean, comfortable and in a perfect position. Hannah and paddy were very easy to get on with, they were warm and friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Thanks to Hannah and Paddy for rescuing us at 9:30 at night, travelling from Adelaide. we had no where to stay and they replied straight away! amazing little house, felt so welcome!

Annabelle2017-03-22T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Hannah's was just super awesome! We would count it as our best airbnb experience ever and would definetlz recommend it to anyone. Hannah's place made us feel like home instantly. We wished we could've stayed longer!! Closeby (5 min walk) is a great outlook from where you can see the beach of newcastle.

Tim2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

Hannah was a great host, very helpful and accommodating! Would recommend this as a great place to stay!

Hannah's place is so lovely! Clean and well decorated. Very lovely hosts; very friendly and nice! We were only there for one night but we had a great stay! Definitely going to stay there again sometime! :)

House is beautifully decorated and has lots of space. Super close to the beach and in an amazing part of Newcastle. Would recommend!

Beyond the French doors in the living room is a view north overlooking the harbour. The morning sun is amazing through the winter months and you can sit on the balcony and watch the boats come in and soak up the sun. The beach, King Edward park and Anzac walk, Cafe's and Restaurants galore are a short walk away in this historic part of Newcastle. Free city bus a block away. Great places to walk to and explore! If you prefer to stay in, there's a deep bath to soak in and videos and games to play.

There is a 3rd room (study/library/extra bed) for a 4th guest. It has no door so technically not a bedroom but still reasonably private. It would be fine to sleep in or just use as a study or extra living space with games and books galore. There is desk and printer in this room as well. I have another listing 'Harbour View on the Hill', Unit 2 which is right next door. If you can't find the dates you're after or have a special request just send a request!

There is so many things about the area that we love. Put on your walking shoes and visit King Edward park, Newcastle Foreshore, our fantastic patrolled beaches or baths. There's also plenty of our favourite eating and drinking holes all a short walk away. A 24hr convenience store is 2 blocks away and Chemist wharehouse a 5 minute stroll.
